A transmission rate control method for controlling a transmission rate of data transmitted from a mobile station to a radio base station via an uplink, includes: receiving, at the mobile station, an Absolute Rate Grant Channel which indicates an absolute value of the transmission rate from the radio base station; and ignoring, at the mobile station, a Relative Rate Grant Channel which indicates a relative value of the transmission rate until each HARQ process has been performed once, after receiving the Absolute Rate Grant Channel.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A transmission rate control method for controlling a transmission rate of data transmitted from a mobile station to a radio base station via an uplink, comprising: receiving, at the mobile station, an Absolute Rate Grant Channel which indicates an absolute value of the transmission rate from the radio base station; and ignoring, at the mobile station, a Relative Rate Grant Channel which indicates a relative value of the transmission rate until each HARQ process has been performed once, after receiving the Absolute Rate Grant Channel.
2. A mobile station for controlling a transmission rate of data transmitted to a radio base station via an uplink, comprising: a receiving section configured to receive an Absolute Rate Grant Channel which indicates an absolute value of the transmission rate from the radio base station; and a controlling section configured to ignore a Relative Rate Grant Channel which indicates a relative value of the transmission rate until each HARQ process has been performed once, after receiving the Absolute Rate Grant Channel.
